I hope to have at least helped ONE person out with this video.

I heard from someone that the quick menu was a tiny bit distracting, so now just hold space while scrolling to activate quick menu.

Also a 500GB SSD for my games
Also a 1TB hard disk for backups
750watt PowerSupply (PSU)
double 120mm fan processor cooling from 'Be Quiet!'
More 'Be Quiet!' 120mm fans in the case itself.
no clue what motherboard I have but it was a good one
Good cable management ofcourse.
Kick ass monitor, keyboard and mouse with LED because I'm a complete waste of space.
(mouse = Logitech HeroG502)
Microphone = Blue Spark (with Blue Isicle to convert it to a PC input)
Separate sound system (sound bar) from 'BOSE'
Cable internet connection, 100% of the time. SCREW WIFI!

    Damn. We are going to reach 100k views😱 I can honestly tell you I never got any video above 10k (not that I deserve more with my type of content), but I'd love to take a moment to thank all of you for taking the time (a whole hour!) to do some research before playing! I'm always happy to see all your positive feedback and stories. I also am grateful for the honesty and constructive feedback ofcourse. The most common problem is defintely with the files and how to install them. Arma 3 loves to play tricks, I'm sorry! Search the comments for solutions, check your folders/ profiles and try to get it to work. More than 50% of all people I spoke to who had issues solved them eventually. For controls changes please turn on the subtitles & check the description as well! If you want to disable freelook in vehicles to fly helicopters without flystick, you can do so in the game settings. THE COMMENT I HEAR MOST OFTEN: Appearantly you don't 'NEED' a beefy computer to run arma and enjoy it. *EDIT1:* Damn... 200k Statistics show most of the views aren't even because of the algorythm. You people genuinly look this up a lot! *EDIT 2.* 300k Thanks again you all, I have replaced the newer loadout file again, for those who don't get it to work, go IN the file and check for the text, just copy paste it into yours! Also, some people have more than 1 Arma profile, look for folders and throw it in there instead. Happy to help you fine humans. EDIT 3: 600k 😂 it's an honor. Sadly my content is random, but I try to make all my videos worth it in some way. Upping the quality and putting elbow grease into it! Any video I make takes a big work so I am slow as hell, but fir those checking out the content, I appreciate you and hope you enjoy :)

"Had this tutorial been out before I started playing this [game], it [the existence of the tutorial and my watching of it] would have saved me so much time."

Reason why I drew that conclusion is because you say: "(Would have) saved me much time before playing this game" Which to me indicated that this tutorial doesn't save you time anymore because you already know much about it. If you didn't have time in the game yet the tutorial would still save you that time, but because it doesn't (would have) you probably already know most of this.

    Excellent. Arma3 is the only game that offers such a variety of maps, missions, scenarios, mods, vehicles, weapons and the most powerful editor free to use. There are no battle passes, game currencies, gambling loot boxes and other detractors that ruin the gameplay experience. Arma3 players truly do get spoiled for choices.

Just about to hit 60 yrs old this month, so I built me a new computer and just waiting on the ram to get here....Living offgrid in the desert near BBNP so using Hughes Net for internet access. No mmpg foir me sadly, but I will do single player. Had to even get a win10 serial for less than 20 legally today, swore I would never buy another windows after 7. Anywho, got ARMA3 on STEAM for under 6 bux and checking it out here on my macbook pro retina from 2015 :D Thanks for reminding me of the GREAT Nova Logic days, running our own servers for the ExtremeOPS clan.

    I have been keeping my eye (listen to me keep an eye for 7 years) on Arma in the past couple of months, watching gameplay, keeping an eye on the player base and seeing it above 20k every time I have a look at it I started to get extremely hyped because It is the only game I had in my wishlist for which I was absolutely sure that I was going to have a blast playing it! The day has come as Arma went to its second sale (yes I missed the first one) and I have finally bought Arma two days ago and I have 26 hours already. I have been playing DayZ intensively lately and I knew that Arma is just what I need to escape from Dayz's paranoia of losing your shit. Anyways, sorry for the novel, just wanted to share my extremely nice last two days. Amazing video, watched every second of it, thank you! Arma is the best shit I played

    Hey, thank you for making such a great tutorial. I just got the game after the summer sale on steam and after watching this video I actually can understand the game. although I am having an issue with the arsenal and loadouts. When I paste in the files I get the controls you configured but not the loadouts. I spent a bit myself making a few but I just wanted to ask if you had any ideas for a fix.

  • @randomshittutorials

    if you are trying to do it with an alternive profile you have to go to that file insted of the main file and just load the game a couple of times and it worked. (some user's comment) 13:42 If the loadouds don't work for you I'm sorry. Arma likes to play tricks on different people. It also matters what profiles you've made. Many people had this issue and managed to fix it. I recommend you go INTO the files and just copy paste the text from there (loadout info for example) into your own files instead, that should work. In any way, hope this works for you :)

    I like how Arma 3 is from 2013 yet this tutorial is from 2021. And I was just asking myself earlier whether or not I should buy the game while it's on sale or if it would be a waste buying it this late. On a budget, so I might grab the game now since it's only $7.50 and get some of the DLC later on as I go. Thanks for the in depth tutorial! Although I might just mess with controls and loadouts myself. Middle mouse seems a bit unnatural compared to most games as an "interact" button. F seems more appropriate, but I may change my mind given how in depth these controls are.

  • @randomshittutorials

    No worries! Also, I had the same mindset as you when ai started, if you decide to change the controls with your current knowledge you will slowly find yourself leaning back to my controls. You'll slowly find why I did what I did when you figure out the game functions xD But I'm not stopping you.

    @@randomshittutorials Ok, update time: Bought the game, played with a friend on a few different servers, and did some of the single player scenarios and a few from the Steam workshop. The default controls are so unnatural. It's one of those rare cases where you almost don't have enough keys to play the game since so many of them have secondary functions. I've learned three things so far. 1. You always need to know what stance to be in and when, otherwise you're getting shot or won't have your gun ready in time enough 2. Apparently they have an in depth difficulty system as well, and AI are just as good as other players. They don't take PvE lightly. and most importantly, 3. I'm dogshit at heli controls.

    Without buying all the dlc, its still enjoyable it really depends on your playstyle or how you want to play the game (with mods maybe if you learn about the game more), just get Apex DLC for example as a starters it has alot of cool weapons you might want to use, Marksman is nice if you prefer content with snipers with a really good ghillie included, Helicopter and Jets if you're a fly boy who wants more aircraft (really good ones), Laws of War has a very good story telling and give you more knowledge about rules of war, Karts for gags and its cheap anyway, so why not, Contact has decent campaign and some cool content but depends on what you prefer, and lastly Creator DLC, these DLCs are optional and not come as vanilla DLC, buy it if you like what you see but it won't be in vanilla ArmA MP unless the server is made for that. edit: Tanks is really cool as well recommended.
